Acoustic neuromas occur either as sporadic solitary tumors in the general population or as inherited bilateral tumors typically in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2. Loss of heterozygosity for markers on the long arm of chromosome 22 has been reported in both instances, and neurofibromatosis ty

## Abstract We have karyotyped eight sporadic osteocartilaginous exostoses (OCE), a tumor type not characterized cytogenetically before. Five tumors had only normal karyotypes, whereas three displayed the following abnormal karyotypes: 46,XY,del(8)(q24.1); 46,XX,del(8)(q22), t(8;14)(q24. 1;q32); an
## Abstract Recurrent deletions of chromosome fragments observed in neoplasms are thought to participate in tumor development through the inactivation of tumorβsuppressor genes. In gliomas, the most frequent deletions involve chromosome arms 9p, 10q, 17p, 19q and 22q. We have analysed deletions of
